Bodegas Norton – Malbec – 2011


Fairly dense colour, but not opaque (I’ve seen Malbecs from halfway up a mountain that are as thinly coloured as the average Pinot Noir, but the Malbec norm is pretty black). The nose is primary and primitive – bristly, brambly black fruit that says hot, rustic Mediterranean. A sticky sort of texture, but with no great flavour depth, and a rough finish.

78/100
